“I’m glad scrambled eggs don’t have lips,
because when I’m grinning over
a hearty breakfast,
it would really freak me out to see my breakfast
grinning back.”

"Hurray', shouted Glokta. 'Porridge again!'
He looked over at the
motionless Practical.
'Porridge and honey, better than money,
everything's funny, with porridge and honey!”

There's a saying that if you walk around carrying a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail.
What if you walk around carrying a camera? Does everything start to look like a face?
It seems to hold true, because I see faces everywhere.
I see faces in the wood grain of the bedroom door.
I see faces in the texture of the carpet.
I see faces in the paint swirls in the faux-finish on my bathroom walls.
I saw this guy smiling back at me from my bowl of hot quinoa porridge.
And since I do walk around carrying a camera, I did what I do.
He was there. So was I. It happened. We both liked it.
I think he's pretty cute.
I ate him anyway.
He was mushy.
